Sander was THE BEST instructor. So patient, and kind, and super reassuring that I would be okay. I would definitely recommend that experience to any and everyone looking to do something a little different in Playa Del Carmen!

I love paddle boarding...

Briony_K, Jun 2025

I love paddle boarding and was expecting a lot more from the sunset with pictures. Only one picture at the end of the group not pictures throughout, and kept being asked by instructors whether we wanted to go in early ahead of the two hours. Also was reminded a few times by the instructors if we felt tired they could pull us along, which probably was meant to be helpful but just felt directed at us perhaps because we’re a bigger build. Idk. The paddle boarding itself was a nice experience, but there’s probably others out there just as good.

The best paddle board instructor!

Aloha Paddle Club in Playa should be on your list of activities

Ruben_G, Jun 2024

Sunset in Playa, on the water, is fabulous. On the trip with my son- and we did this PB excursion with Sander from Aloha Paddle Club. Enjoyable, relaxing, beautiful. A tiny bit on wavy side this day- - but not uncomfortable. Sander is a tremendous host. Personable and knowledgeable with PB tips to improve your skills. The meeting location of the excursion is great (Fusion Beach Bar) with live music playing- stay after for sunset margs and great ceviche on the beach. We will book again anytime we are in Playa. Thanks Sander!

Was well worth it!

I had a great time! Axel was very helpful and I felt very safe with him. He was able to make me enjoy and feel comfortable.

Awesome experience!

Sander was a great instructor. It was my first time paddle boarding and I was able to get the hang of it pretty quickly. Attendees were at all skill levels. There's a 30 minute intro before the start time listed. It was so much fun and a must do if you're in Playa!

Well dispersed beer after

I was the only non member and newbie but the whole group led by Sander took excellent care of me. Amazing opportunity to work out and enjoy the nature, beautiful sunset and company of stingrays. Thank you

Amazing for Beginners and Experts

Jason_T, Nov 2023

Awesome experience, ended up being the only student but Roberto was an awesome guide. Would have returned again if I stayed for longer in Playa. Was a beginner but got an amazing lesson as well as a beautiful sunset. Cannot miss.

Awesome experience!

Twan_V, Sep 2023

Great way to enjoy the beach

Caleb_H, Aug 2023

We had a great time. Sander was an excellent guide, and I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique way to enjoy the ocean at Playa del Carmen.

Absolute must!

Tjara_K, Nov 2021

The highlight of my trip to Playa! Worth every cent. Crew was so nice to us first timers, did a little intro and looked out for us on water although there were also some more experienced joiners. Super nice people, met some nice people also. Had a drink after at the beach bar with live music!

Good Time

Dee_B, Feb 2021

My first time paddle boarding- had a good time. I wish I was a little more experienced- I fell in the water a lot. The instructor was cool, patient, informative, and made it easy to follow. I thought that the company had a drone taking pictures but turns out it’s just the instructor taking pics with a GoPro (the drone was random). He took good pics though. I suggest packing light, there isn’t lockers or towels available. I’ll do it again for sure. Highly recommend.
